DayZ Creator Depressed Over Development Delays

Dean Hall, creator of DayZ, explained to fans that he’s pretty upset over the survival game’s development delays. He even considered stepping away from the project.

Hall created the original ArmA II survival horror mod, which is currently being adapted into a standalone game. The project’s likely delay, due to major engine changes, was announced at the end of November.

The development team has been hammered with questions since the announcement and Hall says the group decided it was best to stay quiet and focus on the project.

The development of the game has caused Hall some personal turmoil and he considered cutting his losses and stepping away from the project.

He was diagnosed with high blood pressure at a recent medical evaluation and says that, “some things in life just aren’t worth worrying about.”

For now, Hall is working at home on bits and pieces of the DayZ development. The rest of the team is doing the same.

The creator promises fans that he will have a more concrete update once all the dust is settled.
